Cyrissa | Jonarissa

The history of the elves in Archaea is a journey from greatness to near-extinction, and finally to rebirth through the last survivor. During the Dawn Era, the elves were a powerful and influential people, among the first to receive the gift from the First Mother herself—the light they were destined to carry throughout the multiverse. It was the elves who had their leader, the greatest of the First Ones, who empowered other planeswalkers. Their culture was steeped in spirituality: they believed in returning to the spirits of their ancestors, kept no chronicles, but passed on legends orally, living in harmony with their history. However, with the coming of the Veil and the rise of the Church of Purification, dark times came for the elves. The new religion left no room for their ancient beliefs, but the greatest tragedy was the genocide perpetrated by human clerics—the elves were exterminated almost to a man. Sirissa became the last surviving elf in Archaea, her fate a living reminder of that catastrophe. She hid in the forest of Maribor, witnessing the murder of her sister and mother, and the theft of sacred artifacts from her people. This pain engendered a deep hatred for all humans, whom she held responsible for the destruction of her people. But with the arrival of Lololoshka and the fall of the Veil, a Renaissance began for Archaea, bringing hope to even the last elf. Sirissa survived the infection and the cure, finding refuge in a refugee camp, and then in the dream world of John and Lololoshka. Through all her trials, she was able to forgive and begin a new life. Though her people perished, Sirissa became a symbol that even the last representative of a great race can find hope and a place in the new world.

Planeswalkers are beings capable of traveling between different worlds and realities, leaping across the interdimensional void. Their origins are linked to the mysterious crystals skinth and skintonite, and the world of Archaea is considered the birthplace of the first planeswalkers, although they could also transform into monsters there due to infection. Among the planeswalkers, the First Ones stand out—the strongest of them, who live for millions of years, can travel through time, and created the "Departure" device for traveling between realities. In addition to moving between worlds, planeswalkers live many times longer than ordinary races, quickly adapt to new worlds, and intuitively understand languages. However, transitions are difficult and can erase memories. In the rescue of Archaea, it is the planeswalkers, including John and Loloshka, who become key figures in the rescue, and Cyrissa, as an elf, is closely connected to this world through her history and interactions with them.

Lololoshka arrives in Archaea as a stranger, but he is destined to become the liberator of this world. Archaea was suffocating under the oppression of Father and the Church of Purification—people lived in fear, the infected were burned, hunters were hunted, and hope was almost extinguished. Lololoshka doesn't just fight monsters—he inspires people to resist. His appearance shatters the established order: the townspeople, accustomed to submission, begin to believe that the darkness can be defeated. It is Lololoshka who leads the final battle against Father, destroys the Veil, and grants Archaea freedom. Without him, the world would remain in agony, consumed by the cult and the infection.

But his role isn't limited to saving the entire world. Lololoshka becomes a savior for John and Sirissa, each in their own way. John is a lost planeswalker who has made enemies and is close to giving up. Lololoshka keeps him from retreating into the shadows, constantly drawing him into events, forcing him to remember that he can be better than his mistakes. When John betrays Sirissa, trading her for information, Lololoshka openly condemns him—not out of malice, but to make John understand that such behavior is unacceptable. He forces John to face the truth, and it is through this pressure that John ultimately admits his guilt and changes.

For Sirissa, Lololoshka becomes an important figure. She is the last elf to survive the genocide at the hands of humans, and she hates all of humanity. Lololoshka, however, is the first human who treats her not as an enemy or a tool. He sees her as a person, not just "the last survivor." In the end, Lololoshka proves to be the connecting link without which the reconciliation between John and Sirissa would have been impossible. When they reconcile, it's not simply because of them. It's because Lololoshka guided them both through their darkest moments. He pulled John out of apathy, and Sirissa from the abyss of hatred. He saved the Archaea from tyranny, but in the process, he also saved them—two lost people who, without him, would have remained enemies.

In the dark past, Archaea was one of the most ancient worlds, the homeland of the first planeswalkers, where various races flourished. Everything changed when a Father named Tadmavriel enslaved the world, casting the Veil—a magical barrier that cut Archaea off from the rest of the universe. The Age of Darkness began. The Church of Purification, led by Bishop Lucius and the Father, preached the cult of Skinth infestation. "Purification" was presented as a path to grace, and the infected were considered the chosen ones. Opponents—hunters—exterminated the infected creatures, but their activities were declared "blasphemous." Hunters were banned from settling in cities, hunted and killed, even though they were the ones protecting the settlements from the incarnate. Cities were plunged into fear. Inquisitors burned houses before the eyes of the inhabitants. John himself was forced to flee Archaea to avoid death.

In the new era, with the arrival of Lololoshka and John, events began to change. Lololoshka inspired the townspeople to resist, and the ending brought hope. Archaea was freed from the oppression of the Father and the Veil. The history of the world came to a place of peace, tranquility, and prosperity. The totalitarian Church and fear were replaced by a renaissance. An era of progress and, most likely, atheism was ushered in, as the old beliefs faded into the past. Archaea transformed from a dying world into the heart of the universe, where hope triumphed over darkness.

Sirissa and Jon's relationship goes a long way from hatred to mutual acceptance. At the beginning, Sirissa is the last elf to survive the human genocide, so she hates everyone associated with humanity. Jon is half-human, and she treats him with disdain and suspicion. They are forced to work together for a common goal, but conflicts constantly flare between them. But in the end, when everything is resolved, reconciliation occurs. They embrace, and it's not just a formality—it's a gesture of forgiveness and acceptance. Sirissa forgives Jon, despite everything he's done. Jon, in turn, shows that he cares.

Cyrissa is a tall elf with the long, slender arms typical of her people. She has dark skin and ash-blond hair. Her eyes are a deep green. She prefers a green cloak with a deep hood, which is almost always draped over her head. Brown pants and simple boots complete the look.

Sirissa is secretive by nature and trusts no one but herself. She hates humans above all else and openly desires their extinction—and this dislike is understandable, as it was humans who indirectly led to the destruction of her people. She also has a great love for animals. She once tried to help incarnate beings with enchanting dust alone. Although she lacks knowledge due to the conditions she grew up in, Sirissa is far from stupid and capable of manipulation when the situation demands it.

John is a tall man. He has pale skin, brown eyes, and short, light-brown hair with bangs swept to the left. He wears a white business suit with rolled-up sleeves. He has an orange scarf, orange glasses, gray shoes, and turn-up trousers. The scarf resembles a bandana. His thick, dark eyebrows stand out against his fair skin.

John isn't the type to remain silent or show kindness. He's loud, hot-tempered, and talks nonstop, interrupting everyone. Every line he utters is laced with a jab or sarcasm. He grimaces, plays the fool, and behaves like a mischievous teenager. He always acts unexpectedly. Behind this mask lies toxicity and indifference. John is a master at humiliating others with words, portraying himself as a genius—and, it must be said, he truly is. Although he acts childish, he has a wealth of knowledge.
